No, I was talking about things like
Immadaznalone (sp?), which prevent little bugs
from every growing up. Because baby bugs
don't lay eggs, it can stop an infestation quite
well.

IMHO it would prevent a "merge" from
completing, although the spirit of the poor victim
would still be long dead. The queen would be left
with a brood chamber full of stillborns, and the
contamination could never be truly eliminated.
And of course, if the queen gets covered in it, it
could be months before she might be able to lay
a viable "egg".
